In accordance with the present invention there is provided devices and
methods for controlling a microprocessor controlled device in a virtual
environment through the use of at least one sensor disposed at least one
user's finger and a scanner, said sensor and scanner being utilized to
input position data, the method comprising the steps of: loading an
operating system in a computing environment; displaying a virtual
keyboard and a virtual pointing device on a display device; initializing
coordinates defining individual keys of said keyboard; initializing
coordinates defining a location of said pointing device in relation to
the keyboard; monitoring the position of at least one sensor disposed on
a user's finger; determining if sensor movement correlates to depression
of a key on the keyboard and providing feedback to the user to indicate
that a key was depressed on the keyboard; transmitting data correlating
to the depression of the key; and returning to the monitoring step.
